Light jog on those days no more than 20 mins. You could do a few strides just to freshen up your legs. Monday and Tuesday, you don't need to go anymore than one hour. 45 mins would be even better. On tuesday, you might want to do 2-3 miles at race pace. Good LUCK!! You have the right ideas for getting ready for the race, but you should even take Wednesday, Thurs, Friday, easy for sure.

There are only a few key sharpening workouts left. Those workouts are designed to get your legs feeling recovered, fast and fresh for the race and are not designed to get you in any better shape. All the grunt and groan work is done now. Take care of those legs and make sure you are getting plenty of sleep. Hi,

Error on the side of caution the week before the race. Anything you do in the 10 days before the race should be recovery running. If it will tax you to run 11-12 miles the week before, don't do it. It takes the body 10 days to adapt to any training your do, so working hard in the 10 days prior to the race is pretty pointless. Hi,

I am trying to get you to push the envelope but not get hurt. I'd hate for you to have "buckling" legs at the 8 mile mark of the half. That is why it is really important to get those legs use to the pounding now. It seems like you are doing some great training--a mix of cross and running. It's good you are focusing more on diet--it really is the fuel that runs the engine and if you are low or burning a poor source you are going to feel it and crash and burn. Or you will get injured. Keep working hard. I am excited about what I am seeing and the improvements in your running. I hope you have recovered from the long run and paid attention to the details afterwards.

It was pretty fun. Man, I can't wait to meet you. I bet you are super Buff with all the toning classes and stuff you do. Six is a great start to the LR. Like I said. I don't want you to get hurt as you are feeling good and making progress. But I don't want you to have your muscles be hammered after 10 miles into the race either. You need to get al those little tendons and sinew as well as the big muscles use to the pounding. We missed you at the Thrill. It was pretty fun. Man, I can’t wait to meet you.

Sometimes I am more sore and sluggish two days after really working my body hard like that. So it makes since you felt so sluggish on your run. I would try a banana, but if this gives you heart burn or stomach distress try an energy bar that is mostly carbs--cliff or powerbar for pre exercise. If you keep feeling so tired, something else might me going on--so keep tabs on this. I seems like you were tired from a really tough workout in the toning class.

Congrats! You are an inspiration. your training looks good so far. Seven miles means you are well on your way to completing the half. I will be interested to hear more of the specifics of your training next week. spring is here now, so i think we are all feeling more motivated that blizzard took the wind out of my sails last week.

I think being conscious of what you eat is half the battle. I also think when you are working out as much as you are, you crave good food becasue your body needs good fuel. How do you feel after a day like this? How many days a week are like this for you. I think you could forego a run on the days you take two classes. Hopefully then your non-class days could be high quality or longer distance runs. Hi Maggie,
